99 Dom-Ino by Space Caviar, Italy, 2014, 90’ loop
language: Italian; subtitles: English
The film arises from a residential architecture project, “Maison Dom-Ino” (Domus – Innovation), published in 1914 by Le Corbusier: a structure of prefab panels and pilasters destined to redefine architecture through the use of new, highly economical reinforced concrete technology. The video 99 Dom-Ino documents the project’s impact on Italy’s post-war boom: the public housing projects of the 70s, and the rise of real estate firms in the 80s. What emerges is a map of Italy’s architectural landscape, and a detailed, nuanced picture of Italy’s relationship with modern family life.
